masses colliding with a spring between them during the collision. mass b is 4.00kg and moving right at 3.0m/s. Mass a 6.0 kg is moving to the right at 5.0 m/s catches up to mass b, and collides elastically with mass A. The spring has a constant of 15,000 n/m and is initially uncompressed. what is maximum compression distance of spring during collision?

well model an elastic collision as two
masses colliding with a spring between
them during the collision. mass b is 4.00kg
and moving right at 3.0m/s. Mass a 6.0 kg is
moving to the right at 5.0 m/s catches up to
mass b, and collides elastically with mass
A. The spring has a constant of 15,000 n/m
and is initially uncompressed. what is
maximum compression distance of spring
during collision?
